Jun 28 Book/Podcast List

Hey guys, so I'm a huge nerd at heart. Book and podcasts, as you may have noticed, are kind of my jam. A lot of you have asked for recommendations so I started this list while I was on the plane to at least get some to start sharing. I'm going to keep adding to it maybe once a month or so and also flesh out the book list. (Podcasts are easy to look up the titles since they're on my phone, but I borrow all my books from the library so I sometimes have a hard time remembering which ones were good!) I'm also somewhat new to the podcast world and I'm always looking for channels/episodes you enjoyed. I would say I most enjoy humanitarian issue/political science breakdowns, time management tips, and self-discovery types of topics. Basically anything that helps me live a more informed and beautiful life. I put * next to the ones I really, really like.

How I Built This (entrepreneurship)

The RobCast

Magic Lessons with Elizabeth Gilbert

Ep 209 Show up before you're ready featuring Glennon Doyle Melton* [this one is really, really special to me. I heard it while on a retreat in Iceland with Kym Pham and it was exactly what I needed to hear in that precise moment. It's about being honest, both with your self and with the world. I almost didn't include this one because it felt too personal to be on a general list, so do me a favor - if you listen to it give yourself some time and make sure you're in the right headspace :) It's awesome and I hope it helps you too. Disclaimer: I actually don't like most of Elizabeth Gilbert's other podcast episodes, go figure.

Books

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (WWII fiction)

The Celestine Prophecy - huge thank you to Travis Burke for introducing me to this book. It reminds me of The Alchemist, but had more of an impact on me

All the Light We Cannot See - the most lyrical novel I read last year

The Alchemist - no words necessary for this one

Abundance

Sex Lives of Cannibals - hilarious and totally not what you think it's about

Boys in the Boat - historical fiction and the most beautiful story of perseverance

Pillars of the Earth

30 Life Lessons for Living Well

The Four Agreements

Scar Tissue: Biography of Anthony Kiedis - not too into biographies but this one was fascinating. I also love The Red Hot Chili Peppers music
